There is plenty of space under and around it to be able to have a old style septic/leach-field setup. We use that style at my house still since theres no public utility. Basically all a septic is is a big tank buried underground (although in some cases as long as you had some form of liner to prevent cave in you could use that) and then a outflow to send the liquids to a leach-field.
In a post apcolyptic scenario I expect that hardest part of that would be actually pumping or removing the solid waste when the tank is full, would likely need to be a manual pump.
getting water that high though is going to need a pump as well.
If you maintain the bacteria and don’t flush heavy paper products (and definitely not wipes!), a properly designed septic can go decades without needed pumping.

Especially true with the newer aerobic systems.
